i'll be in california buddy, me an "jackcasey" both, for those lifetime shows. plus, if i did go, i'd have to get in your giant mess.bag about halfway through and take a nap with my bike while you kept riding...then after about 3 redbulls and a couple clif bars i would finally have the strength to crawl out and call a cab.

I'd be up for that another weekend... My friend and I were planning to do that trip anyway, so if schedules work out, we might as well go with some other people to.

whoa. i'll be down next weekend, too. yes, i was going to go round trip. this would be the second time. it's about a 120 mile round trip last time to atlantic city. it took about 8 and a half hours for me. on my track bike. 40-14 gear ratio. it was a while ago, so i don't remember if i wanted more or less gear inches. yeah, it was fun. i'm no stallion. but i get it done. to everyone that said next week. i'm calling you out later.

-jason

oh, and you kids in cali have fun. and you suck for getting more lifetime.

I'm totally down but work/band schedule doesn't seem to want to help me out much anytime soon.

when the weather turns nicer, though, spontanious ocean city trips all summer long.

are they ever going to unlock that bridge? or will they just keep it locked until all the terrorists are dead... ever. I miss riding out there, it's a good view of the city.

i think it has more to do with the season (or at least the season it should be) i dunno, i got a job going out to camden the week after it actually snowed, but it was locked/snowed in, but that was in december. i dunno. i blame jersey.

alright, has anyone of us done this before of know of a route that's simple to follow? i'm looking at routes that different clubs have taken and the ms150 route and they seem extremely complicated, like some with turns every block, i figure we need to be concerned formost with simplicity, any thoughts?

how would we go one way? how would we get home? ****, I keep forgetting I have class saturday, but anyway, you should make this ride like, a monthly thing, Id love to come one time when I'm actually free.

But I think one way is more safe...especially if we'd be riding home in the dark.
